Evening All. If you missed it, I have just watched the above programme on Channel 5. Well worth a watch if you can get it on catch up. Bladder cancer was mentioned, although briefly, but there are many other things you need to look out for. Many things can be diagnosed, sometimes just by the colour, and is an indication of general health.

A couple of things that I found fascinating. 

Dogs can be trained to detect bladder cancer as well as other cancers by sniffing urine. We have known this for some tme, but maybe not very practical.

In these days when the shelves are empty and you cannot buy mouthwash, swilling your mouth with urine can be as good. Probably best to use your own. I might give that one a miss.

Unfortunately, my home town of Liverpool came top of the tree for drug abuse.

The downside of the programme is that bladder cancer did not get as much publicity as we would like, as usual. Best wishes.
